Here is how both Dev Meena and Kuldeep Kumar travelled to their hotels with their equipment, hours after becoming joint National record holders (5.45m). #athletics@Xpress_Sports@indraneel0
Congratulating Hon’ble LG of Delhi, @SandhuTaranjitS While the world famously knows him for bolstering India-US ties and leading the country’s diplomatic missions, not many know of his rich legacy of seva. His grandfather S Teja Singh Samundri led the SGPC uprising with pathbreaking initiatives, particularly the first movement for democracy in India, with the right of voting assured to women too. He was martyred in Lahore Jail under suspicious circumstances in 1926. Not only the Sikh community but the country is indebted to him for his service to the nation and sacrifice.
Dr. Sivaranjani got a court case!
For 8 years, Dr Sivaranjani has been raising concerns about fake ORS! Last week she got a court case from one such company.
Companies in India spend crores on lawyers and Bollywood celebrities. Imagine if they instead spent on good quality ingredients as well?
This is not just a court case on Dr. Sivaranjani, this is also an attack on freedom of speech. Companies should remember that Freedom of Speech allows Freedom to Criticize.
Share this video to support @dr_sivaranjani and help this reach more Indians.
Cricket gyaan: I just heard someone on Insta call ‘@Jaspritbumrah93 the ‘Bradman of bowling’. Not a bad analogy. Watching this game for 50 years now I haven’t seen a fast bowler
with greater variety or control over his craft. Yes, Axar catches were crucial yesterday but without Bumrah’s 4 overs we might have lost even after scoring 253. His slower ball is a work of art, his yorker an act of mathematical precision. Only Wasim Akram and Marshall come close to Bumrah as an all round fast bowling package in contemporary times. With him in the side, India will almost surely win the T 20 World Cup. Without him, it’s an even game. Simply superb! Take a bow sir! #Bumrah
@RBI Please have a look at the harassment to individuals, firms and business due to repeated KYC. Banks are asking for same documents they already have, unnecessary documents, threatening freezing of accounts. When asked why they are asking so many details again they point to RBI. Can @RBIsays please stop this kind of harassment and threats? We are not crooks and have been banking for 50+ years but harassment has only increased @nsitharaman@FinMinIndia@narendramodi@PMOIndia Our lives are becoming more and more miserable because of over bearing regulators and govt agencies. Madame FM please intervene. Where is ease of life and business?
@forallcurious “I remember this moment, going into the map and looking at one individual synapse from this woman’s brain, and then zooming out into these other millions of pixels,” said Viren Jain, a senior scientist at Google, in Nature Magazine.
“It felt sort of spiritual.”
The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet.
1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output.
The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice.
Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet.
And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.”
This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one.
We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that.
The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.
Multiple decades of watching cricket, yet, nobody, no bowler has made me feel this fulfilling as watching @Jaspritbumrah93 does!
He's what you say, 'we prayed for a bowler like this!'
Truly amazing edit on an elite athlete!
#OneBumrah 🙏 ❤️
Jensen just said he's not coming
This is our attempt to bring him back

Unitree Embodied AI Model Manufactures Robots in Factory🤩
Based on Unitree’s UnifoLM-X1-0 embodied AI model, this is an actual deployment at Unitree’s own robot factory.
Have a break but don’t have a KitKat because
I compared a KitKat sold in Australia with one sold in India, and the numbers are sadly not surprising.
The Australian version contains:
-Milk solids – 20%
-Cocoa – 22%
-Added sugar – 21.7g
The Indian version contains:
-Milk solids – 16.1%
-Cocoa – 4.5%
-Added sugar – 28.9g
Indians are getting a significantly inferior version compared to Kit-Kat abroad. This is not just limited to the Kit-Kat but most packaged food items like Cerelac, Lays etc.
This is because of 3 reasons.
1.India is a price-sensitive country, and as a result companies put low quality ingredients. But costing alone doesn’t explain the full picture.
2.Our regulations are weak and they don’t prevent companies from giving us inferior products.
3.We as consumers do not question what we’re being served. That is exactly why I started Label Padhega India. Because unless we read and ask, nothing changes.
Companies rarely change because they feel guilty. Companies change if consumers unite and ask for it.
So it’s our responsibility, together, to speak up and make sure our voices are heard.
Let’s Make India Healthy Again.
Imagine feeding your kids a daily cocktail of caustic soda, detergent, urea, fertiliser, and palm oil, for five straight years. What short- and long-term harm would that cause to their bodies? One can only speculate.
Residents of the Sabarkantha and Mehsana districts in Gujarat were effectively doing this by buying milk from a local company that had been making fake milk using these ingredients.
Police have arrested Jitendra Patel, Sachin Makwana, Karan Parmar, and Ajaysinh Parmar. Another example of how Indians are among the most selfish people in the world and won’t mind killing others if it helps them make a profit.
How can such a setup run with impunity for five long years without anyone realising? What are FSSAI and other food adulteration agencies doing?
This is the best explanation I have heard of how AI is impacting the software landscape. Not just the stocks, but the actual fundamentals of the businesses underneath
From AI Czar David Sacks himself
"You take a product like Salesforce that deals with all your customer contracts and revenue. You are not going to replace that with code that has been spit out of a coding assistant that has not been fully vetted
Think about how many bug reports on Salesforce's code base over the last 25 years. Maybe millions of them. That system has been tested across thousands of large customers and enterprises
The idea that you are just going to rip out that system and replace with code that has been probabilistically generated by an AI engine yesterday, with a small team to maintain it internally, just does not seem realistic to me"
STOP SUSPENDING AND START PROSECUTING.
I am tired of the "Suspension" headline.
Suspension is a paid vacation. Suspension is a PR tactic to quiet the noise while the family of Kamal Dhyani mourns.
A 25-year-old man didn't just "fall into a pit." He was swallowed by a system that refuses to see us as human beings.
Kamal’s brother went to six different police stations. SIX.
He begged for help while Kamal’s phone was still ringing. He was told to "wait until 11 AM."
While the Delhi Police were quoting protocols and checking their watches, a young life was passing away in the mud just a few hundred meters away.
In India, negligence is not treated as a crime when a government stamp is involved.
Section 304A (Death by Negligence) is a bailable offense. It’s a slap on the wrist.
Why isn't this Section 304 (Culpable Homicide)?
If you leave a 15-foot hole open on a dark road, you know it is likely to cause death.
Under Section 197 of the CrPC, you can’t even prosecute these officials without government permission.
The system protects its own. It uses our tax money to hire lawyers to defend the people whose laziness killed us.
Just like the Noida tragedy, where a techie died while begging for help, they will wait for the news cycle to change.
They will wait for us to forget Kamal like we are already forgetting Yuvraj Mehta, the engineer who drowned in a Noida pit just weeks ago.
It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.
